Tuesday, August 28, 1923 PAGE TWO THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON THE HEPPNER HERALD AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER S. A. PATTISON, Ed-itor and Publisher Entered at the Heppner, Oregon, Poetotfice aa second-class Matter Terms of Subscription One Year $2.00 Six Months $1.00 Three Months $0.50 SHOES AT FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE There appears in this issue of the Herald an advertise ment for a new organization, the Minute Men ot the Constitution." The advertisement explains itself and the thoughtful reader will not be surprised. It, is the logical outcome of K. K. Klan activities. Those who believe in Klan methods should not forget that two can play at the same game. To fight fire with fire is one of the most commonly known means of defense. Our neighboring town of Condon has been having much trouble due to klan activities, according to reports com ing from that town, and the writer's information is eresay, but from what we can learn the trouble these has culmi nated in a local minister being forced to leave town, and that was certainly a most unlawful act. What makes it miore astounding it is supposed to have been perpetrated by those who are opposed to klan methods. However, the Herald is not disposed to judge harshly because it is not in possession of first hand innformation. The Condon newspaper has refused to become involved in this controversy and some time ago published a notice to the effect that it would not print anything from either ,n Tn f:irr most of tlu newsnaners of the state have chosen that course including the Catholic papers that have reached the Herald desk. All newspapers surpress much and perhaps should do even more along that line but when anything affects our lives, our freedom, our business, our social relations, our public institutions, the facts should be given. That is news. It is what the subscriber pays for and what he has a right to demand. The great mass of citizens, known as "the common peo ple," want to do the right thing and will solve their prob lems wisely and well if they are not kept in ignorance of the main issues. A word about this minister who is reported to have so incensed a large number of citizens that they "run him out of town:" Was lie following the teachings of the lowly Nazarene 11 Christ ndoni loves to call COS LADIES' AND CHILDERN'S SHOES We are going to close out our entire line within the next thirty days at ABSOLUTE COST NOTE THESE REDUCTIONS Ladies' 15-in. hiking shoes, were $9.00, now $7-5 Ladies low shoes, were $3.95, now 3.10 Ladies dress shoes, were $4.65, now 3.65 PROPORTIONATE REDUCTIONS ON ALL OTHER LINES OF CHILDREN'S SHOES.

Forehanded People GASOLINE AND OTHER THINGS "Perhaps the plight of the farmers in eastern Oregon and other wheat-producing sections of the country is not due .so much to the low price of wheat as it is to the high price of everything else. Only a few years ago, before the world war sent prices kiting,' S to SS cents for wheat was considered a fair price because other commodities were nearer in proportion. Lately there has been much talk about the price of gas oline and in some places in the middle west and south the mice h.-is tumbled io cents or more a irallon and all be cause the state of South Dakota took the and went into the uasohne business, from independent oil concerns and selling at a reasonable price to the people. In Kansas, also, the price tumbled io cent s or more in a night. If this can be done with the price of gasoline, why not with other commodities? 'Pake farm machinery as an ex ample. In spite of all the so-called trust busting of recent year the harvester trust goes serenely on charging all the traffic will bear and the farmer, with his Sj cent wheat crop ready to harvest must pay the outrageous prices de manded by the trust or let his crop rot in the field. The same i true of practically everything the farmer has to buv. Shoes, clothing, sugar, lax receits. in I act about everything that can be mentioned is still hovering around war lime levels while wheat and cattle have Emperor Simmons Says Klan Now Is Withering Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18 William J. Simmons, emperor of the Ku Klux klan, issued a statement today, ac cording to the Atlanta Journal, in which he declared that the "Develop ment and progress of the Ku Klux Klan is stopped and disintegration is setting in throughout the entire boun daries of the invisible empire, due to lack of leadership and want of con structive programmes and activity." He declared, further, the story re lates, that "men of largest influence have even become indifferent or withdrawn from the order" Mr. Simmons today telegraphed Edward Young Clarke at Indianap olis, an offer of full and complete executive administration authority over all matters pertaining to the klan and the Kamelia, if Clark would return to Atlanta and assume control of the two great organizations, ac cording to the story printed in the Atlanta Journal.

One of the purposes of the agricultural credits act of 1923 was financing sta ple crops which could be warehoused, so as to permit of orderly marketing, and it was felt that the Pacific Wool Growers was the ideal type of organ ization to avail itself of the cat. White brohers, wool growers of Palmer, Alaska, have joined the Pa cific Cooperative Wool Growers and have shipped their wool to Portland. This is the farthest North member of the association. On the same day, another wool grower, T. J. Lea of Placerville, Cal., joined the association and shpiped his wool to Portland. He is the farth est south member of the Pacific Co operative Wool Growers, an organi zation of 2600 wool growers of the four Northwestern states, who grade their wools in Portland and market through thiir association direct to pulls. a Th Tea as s Real Iced Weather M VTK UNITY HOMK 1 am prepared to take a limited number of maternity cases at my home on South Main street.
